In a post published on his blog Wednesday afternoon, former Vice President Al Gore extends his support for the Occupy Wall Street protestors.
Quoting a New York Times editorial from Sunday, Gore agreed that the protesters “are giving voice to a generation of lost opportunity.”
“From the economy to the climate crisis our leaders have pursued solutions that are not solving our problems, instead they propose policies that accomplish little,” Gore wrote. “With democracy in crisis a true grassroots movement pointing out the flaws in our system is the first step in the right direction. Count me among those supporting and cheering on the Occupy Wall Street movement.”
